For far less than $40B he can create his own token like SBF and pump & dump it to the end of time. And crypto adoption is not at a level where he can even hope to break even on $40B off micro transaction charges at any point in his life

Since you didn't mention what happened to the accuser after making the false allegation, I'm going to assume the company just wrote off the incident as a simple misunderstanding.

If reach is your top priority then social media platforms beat email no contest.

Why do people still use email as a way of subscribing to content? There are many better and more efficient ways to solve this problem rather than having your subscription mail go straight to junk mail.

Google only packages Chrome for Ubuntu (deb) officially. If you are not using Ubuntu, you are probably not using Chrome directly from Google. However, if you use flatpaks you might as well trust this one package from flathub since the trust

Funny. But I have to root in order to pass safetynet on my device since it doesn't pass with the official lineage build on my device last time I checked (I squarely blame Google on this not lineage devs!). Since am rooted anyways, it i

Crypto libraries that rely on WebAssembly (disabled by jitless mode) break. Some services like protonmail that require to use client device encryption will fail.

Can confirm this. In my naive days I used to use Google's Maps together with location tracking on my Android phone. When I moved location, the ISP I was using was available in the new location so I just moved with my router and my IP a

I think the people conflating this to an absolute free speech issue are missing the bigger picture. Sure Elon is doing this now for personal reasons just like he refused to reinstate Alex Jones' account. But having public data on a web

Maybe he's infected. But he's certainly not entirely wrong on that claim. There's people academically smarter than him that share the same belief.

So many things wrong with this article. You can absolutely see which programs triggered systemd-oomd into action in journalctl logs. Even better, I now seem to get notifications with the culprit whenever it kicks in for my desktop setup. I

The question has too many variables. Though none of these exchanges are regulated by any authority so it's impossible to know which one will disappear with your money tomorrow.

AFAIK Almost all crypto companies operate in the dark. There's little due diligence to be had when none is (legally) required. I recall coming across a clip of Chamath Palihapitiya, a prominent VC saying he once had the opportunity to

by Operative0198 4y ago
What probably happened here is one VC played the 'pump and dump' game for one of these tokens 'gamed' by SBF then shared that with other VCs. Before you know it, that fucker had clients lining up to him to invest in his

Oh okay. Missed the joke. Killing off the notifications feature on the account of a few rogue actors doesn't seem like a reasonable measure. Though ironically even if we are to take your example, I would consider advertising in this sc

Can't find that reference in the article. Are you sure you got that right?

Wrong solution to the problem. Let's be honest here, they are only getting those notifications because they visited some random shady website and clicked on "allow" notifications as they would click the "accept" coo

Everyone agrees. Many countries will just ban you for operating outside of their laws regarding unlawful speech. My main issue with the article is different however, and has everything to do with this advertiser's misplaced demands on

Am okay with advertisers going to Facebook (or any other platforms really) where they can curate their own little garden of cute posts and snowflake engagements. Edit: To answer your added question. In an ideal world there is no good reason
